Bridgestone Tour B XS Performance Notes
The 2026 Bridgestone Tour B XS produced one of the fastest ball speeds in our driver test out of the 43 balls we tested in 2026. While the human swings in our test produced too low of a peak height with driver to turn all of that ball speed into distance, Tour B XS proved it has the horsepower to crank out top-tier distance. Players who have no issue hitting driver into a strong launch window and apex are likely to realize the full distance potential of Tour B XS.
However, as a higher-spining "X" ball, we did see higher spin numbers with driver that could put a cap on distance for some players compared to lower-spinning alternatives.
